Caudron G.4 Hydroavion Copper State Models 1/48

I`ve decided to start the Caudron. The kit contains extra sprues with the floats and beeching trolleys along with trestles. They are great cause IMHO the floatplane looks a little bit peculiar without them on the ground.

Great choice of subjects. I am looking forward to this one!

Can't wait to see what you do with this one Filip, it is a great kit and in your very skilled hands it will be a show stopper.

Excellent choice, Filip!  I've been thinking about doing one of the Caudrons as my next build and I think you just pushed me over the edge!  Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Cheers,

Another beauty in your very capable hands Filip.  Looking forward to your progress.

I'm really looking forward to following and learning from your build on this, Filip. My hands are full at the moment, but there is a Hydravion in the stash and maybe one day ....

best wishes

This is going to be one to watch: I had no idea that this aircraft had been fitted with floats until CS produced their kit. A challenge but well within your capabilities - another masterpiece is on the way.

Hello!
I`ve started painting the wood grain bits of the nacelle. I`ve used  XF55 as a base and artistic oils varnished with  Clear Orange. I think I`ll try to work some more on these parts to get a more refined result.
 




I`ve also glued the Le Rhône 9C engines. I`ve just added the push-rods and the wires. After seeing the pics I think they require some touch ups.
I`ve tested the Chrome Silver for the first time

Filip,
Great start to what I am sure will be another of your Master Class builds! The wood tones are lovely and the engines look excellent.

A super start, Filip. You are so organised and I really like the work you've done on the engines; they're coming up soon for me.

Best wishes

Great start to what I know will be another one of your master works.  Looking forward to following along.  I'll be starting mine in a couple months.
Cheers,
Bud

An excellent start Filip, I always enjoy following your superb builds and this one won't be any different, love what you did with the engine

Great start with the wood and engines, looking forward to your outstanding work.

Those engines are looking great, I'm sure this will be another stunner. I'm especially looking forward to seeing it on the beaching trolleys.

Nice work, does not scare you to mount so many lines?
